All Douglas Had To Do Was Go Chalk...

And just think how much better off this team would be right now...

Tristan Wirfs at Tackle was the chalk pick over questionably too big Becton...

Becton is not playing and may never play again...

Justin Fields from OSU at QB over Wilson from BYU was the chalk pick...

Fields is improving, Wilson is regressing...

Douglas just had to go and overthink it...

He just had to go for the home run instead of the sure base hit...

You can't strike out on 2 premium 1st round picks without devastating effects...

This is on you, Joe Douglas...

 

JD knows this. That's why he's forcing Wilson out there even though he doesn't give them the best chance to win.

ok, so its hard for you to get past it...but you have no opinion on the matter. got it. you clearly bring a lot to the table in terms of discussion.

Any evaluation of Douglas has to factor in the 2020 draft and those 2 blown first rounders. You simply have to get 2 impact starters with such high picks. End of story. 

As far as what the chalk was on the Wilson/Fields choice, that sentiment kept shifting. When Fields lit up my Clemson Tigers, it went strongly that way but shifted to ZW closer to the draft. Why JD was jonesing for him has always been baffling.

Another reason to cut Mann is that if not for him, we would have Trevor Lawrence.

I like where the team is headed but if we’re being honest Douglas blew two entire drafts, with high picks, with the exception of AVT. 

I hear you but I just know our track record. Idzek, the guy with the coffee cups all over his desk... it aint pretty. I'm giving Douglass more time.

Yeah, if ONLY he would have done that.  If ONLY he would have hit on EVERY single pick like all the great GM's do.  If only.....if only.....if only......

Blame the 75% hit rate in the first 36 picks on him as well. Douglas is not the issue.

The 2020 draft was brutally bad with Gase and covid preventing pro days.

Aside from that JD has shown the ability to win trades, FA, Waiver wire pickups and UDFA pickups.

Berrios

JFM

Huff

White

Quincy

Kwon

Reed

Have all been above average to great and the Adams, Avery, Darnold, Leonard, and Herndon trades were masterful.

Fair enough on the FA and trade point, however, your covid point only works if other teams had drafted poorly in the 2020 draft as well. We know that is not true.

Sure, that's assuming Gase and Douglas are not on even footing, which they were. Douglas isn't perfect but I stand by him being the best GM we have ever had.

Since no one here has any power to do anything with Douglas, your point is moot. He serves at the pleasure of Woody. This is an opinion site, do you understand that? I am expressing mine in regards to how I perceive his performance.

Wirfs, yes that was a bad miss.

However in NFL circles, Wilson was consensus over Fields. Bad decision, but every other GM would've made it.

Corey Davis has been a bust. Uzomah and Conklin have both been below average. Tomlinson borderline bust. A lot of money for these guys to offset some bad drafts.

Three questions:

1) When Joe Douglas signed Corey Davis, he hadn't missed significant time since his rookie season.  What tools could he have used to predict Davis would experience more injuries in the future than he had in the past in his mid 20's?

2) Do you think the TE production could have been impacted by the QB play?

3) Why didn't you mention DJ Reed, Sheldon Rankins, Kwon Alexander, Jordan Whitehead, Duane Brown, John Franklin-Myers, Quincy Williams, Nate Herbig or Justin Hardee?  All signed or claimed away from other teams to join the Jets.

Corey Davis has been a huge bust. I don’t care what he could have identified. He’s a bust, it is what it is. Reed has probably been his best FA signing. Rankins isn’t good. The rest have been nice stopgaps. Overall, especially with where the money has been spent hasn’t been good.

Right, but what made it predictable.  What was it about Corey Davis, entering free agency, that should have told Joe Douglas there would be injuries and some drops in his first season to worry about?

Oh, and Rankins isn't good?  Gotcha.

We can wrap things up for this one, Matt.

All the best.

I think that is incorrect. They reported separately to Woody but Douglas made the picks with input from Gase.

When 2 of 3 drafts look other worldly, I tend to blame the outlier which would be gase. Perhaps Douglas has another bad draft this year but his track record has been better than not.
